Just in time for Halloween, Red Barrels has announced Outlast: Whistleblower, the first DLC for Outlast. Whistleblower will tell a prequel story and includes new maps, plus a chance to see “the cruel experiments that led to the events in the original game.”

Whistleblower will once again take place in Mount Massive Asylum and, according to Red Barrels, “as the whistleblower whose anonymous tip brought original protagonist Miles Upshur to Mount Massive on one fateful night, you'll encounter the experiments and abuse (conducted in the name of science, of course) that led to the asylum's downfall.”

In addition to new maps and characters, Whistleblower will offer more insight into the “dark history” of the Murkoff Corporation. Players will also “explore the asylum minutes before the slaughter, then experience the outbreak firsthand. If you can survive, you'll find new environments and meet terrifying new characters in another quest to uncover truths which were never meant to be revealed.”

No specific release date has been revealed, but look out for more info in the weeks to come.
